The development of technology provides opportunities for the misuse of both the internet and computers for commercial gain, espionage or other criminal purposes. Thus, cybersecurity threats and cybercrime are among the most crucial challenges that businesses and individuals may respectively face. 

Cybersecurity can be either seen as part of a general approach or a regulation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation or the PSD2, which impose as general security duty on organization, or as a topic itself since legislation is becoming increasingly specialized: the EU Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS Directive) is a perfect example of cybersecurity legislation drawn up for specific market sectors.

Regarding cybercrime we defend and prosecute, representing individuals or organizations regarding crimes that have taken place in the cyber world or with the use of electronic means. They can either arise from breaches to attacks and their impact may vary from personal to global. 

DLE’s team is at the vanguard of the emerging legal fields of cybersecurity and cybercrime and is always ready to assist you or your organization.  

Legal Compliance & Documentation

We recognize that cybersecurity is mainly an IT matter, however the growing body of legislation requires a lot of official documentation that must follow certain legal standards. For instance one legal aspect of cybersecurity which can be found in nearly all pieces of cybersecurity legislation is the duty to report cybersecurity-related incidents to the relevant authorities, as well as to keep up-to date policies, readily available for scheduled or spontaneous checks. DLE’s in-depth experience may prove a valuable ally to any CISO.

Security Assessment

While your focus is to ensure your IT compliance with the GDPR, we may also (in partnership with our third-party partners) offer your organisations security assessment to identify any internal and external vulnerabilities to your environment. This in turn will help you to verify whether the security measures you are taking are sufficient to keep your data safe, as well as if they align with the relevant legislation in place depending on your industry. This security assessment may range from basic documentation check to a full blown security audit.

Prosecution & Defence

We are sensitive in cases that refer to rights’ violation. We support individuals and businesses before the courts and the relevant authorities and fight for their defence and compensation. Our work spans the full range of rights and remedies available to businesses and individuals under criminal law, cybersecurity law and data privacy legislation and any other related legislation to make sure that they receive the defence they deserve.

Cybersecurity Incident & Reputation Management

In case of a security incident, it is important to take decisive action to mitigate the negative impact for people directly or indirectly affected as well as the possible consequences for your organization. DLE’s cybersecurity incident & reputation management program helps its clients to design and implement their incident response procedure, abiding by the strict time limits and handling reputational damage. The program should be optimally established along with each organizations compliance, but can also be requested ad hoc, in the event of an actual incident to handle the risks that follow. 

Regarding the reputation management aspect, our work includes assistance for the effective communication with the relevant authorities and the people affected, as well as a media element in high profile cases if needed.
